BSGA member, Spandex, trade supplier to the sign making and display industry, has appointed NCS Trade Signs as an approved Sign Systems Centre. NCS joins a national network of Sign Systems Centres that manufacture and deliver Spandex’s well established ranges of internal and external sign systems in extruded aluminium including Slatz, Slim Slatz, Insertz, Infopanel, Monoform, Monoframe and others in standard and bespoke sizes.
Derby-based NCS Trade Signs is a well-established trade-only signage manufacturer with a 25 year history, employing over 50 people and a turnover of £3.5 million. The company has evolved from a steel engineering business, into a sign manufacturer which prides itself on high quality products and quick delivery.
The original company, Noise Control Systems Ltd., was acquired in May 1989 by father and son Brian and Nigel Stevenson. During the first year, Nigel Stevenson developed the beginning of trade sign manufacturing by supplying products to a local sign company for their forecourt signage contract. The company’s reputation for high quality and quick response soon led to rapid growth in this field.
In 2005, NCS Trade Signs invested in new sign making technology and now supplies complete signage solutions that can be delivered directly to customers’ sites. NCS Trade Signs also generates its own engineering design to ensure all signs comply with current legislation. In the last two years, NCS Trade Signs has invested close to half a million pounds in a brand new powder coating plant, two new 2m x 4m routers, letter edge forming machinery, printers and plotters, overhead crane and other machinery.
Nigel Stevenson, Owner of NCS Trade Signs, comments: “We are delighted and extremely excited to become an approved Spandex Sign Systems Centre and to be able to supply the complete Spandex range in either standard format or bespoke, to suit specific design criteria. With in-house powder coating, wet spray paint shop and graphic production facilities we can supply the complete finished sign if required, or anodised finished for graphic application by the client.”
Leon Watson, Spandex General Manager says: “We are proud to have NCS on board as a Sign Systems Centre. The company’s outstanding reputation and market reach will allow many sign makers who do not have fabrication facilities to access our sign systems ranges. Spandex and NCS share the same focus on customer satisfaction and our aim is to supply the best products and services to sign makers across the UK.”
